Expo Liberation Journal

One way segregation can be liberated or can be helpful to others is by stopping it and standing up or them selfs. For example Like Rosa parks did she refuse to get out from her seat cause she new that it wasn't right that black people would sit on the back and the white would sit on the back. I think that it was not right to treat the black different because we are all the same and nobody is unequal. We should all have the right to do what ever we want and to not judge other by the color they are not matter what race they are.My opinion about segregation is that no one should be treat unfairly because every one is a human and one has a different body every body was born the same. And even thought that you are a different color don't mean that they have to be separated from the rest. People are being cruel to each other because they are even putting kids in different class black and white were not allow in the same classroom neither were they allow to drink from the same water fountain. Most kids and parents would feel sad bad and angry that others are not treading them the same. Mostly likely, kid would feel depressed that nobody likes them cause of the color they are. I would feel the same way as them because they aren't being the same and they are thinking that they aren't worth it at all.Segregation can be stopped but only if people challenge them selfs to over come this problem.I think that all of this can be liberated because people can make their dreams come true and they will like that every one is being treated the right way.

Expo Oppression Journal

My group are of study is segregation. What segregation mean is when a group or a individual is being segregated just because of the race they are or the way the color they are. Segregation is also define as when a person is being hurt or being violated because of the of the way they are. Some individuals who are being oppressed by is Rosa Parks even though she was strong enough to not get out of the seat she was still being oppressed because of the thing the white people would of tell her. She refuse to get out of her seat because she new that segregation was wrong and unfair. What people are doing to liberate them selfs if by not letting other treat them the way they want. People are now standing up for them rights and not leading other people discriminate them cause of the race they are. Yes i do think this is being a result of freeing others because now the years have passed and  their less segregation going on but, their still some segregation in the community.Some groups are being oppressed by telling them horrible or discriminating things to each other. Groups should start making or trying to convince others to not be races to each other and have a heart and realized that they aint doing good at all with being race to each other. People should tell others that or they should stand up for them self and tell them that segregation is hurting others and some are even saying that they are not worth it cause of the race they are or the color they are.This can can be oppressive because kids groups older people are thinking in their minds that they are not part if the world and that they don't deserve to be treated unfairly.One personal experienced I had with segregation is one day this one African American was talking really harsh and cruel to a Mexican and the Mexican guy didn't know what he was saying so he didn't pay attention to him at all he was Like you dirty Mexicans go back were you came from you don't deserve being her you should be treaded unequally. The Mexican guy was being oppressed because he other man was telling him bad things and the Mexican guy didn't now what the guy was saying.10 thing that make me happy is be with my friends and not have to deal with racism ans segregation and all of dose things that is affecting with our community and it making more people do dose kind of things. I don't like seeing other people get hurt that way and to see how they suffer and other things that make me happy is have a peace community.

I am poem

Just because am Mexican doesn't mean we work at a taco truck ,
Doesn't mean I am a immigrant and doesn't mean we don't talk English
Just because I am Mexican doesn't mean we are poor and don't mean we aren't from the U.S
and doesn't mean we always drink , Just because I am Mexican doesn't mean 20 people Live with us
Doesn't mean we aren't rich and that we all work at the flee market just because I am Mexican .
Why should they care ?
why do they discriminated?
Why do they should judge our life?
and just because we are Mexican!!!

college for all

My road To succeed

My inspiration to go to college began when I found out that my cousin had made it to college. Evey one in ma family was proud of her she has been the only one in my whole family that has gone to college. I was so proud of her as well as my family she has been a good student from kinder too high school. Every time I would see her she would tell me “ Mariel even though no one in our family had gone to college I want you to go to college you are a smart girl and your family is proud that you are doing good in school.” Dose words  I hear them every they  I was in Mexico. When I heard that my cousin Sara was going to college she became my hero because she has been the first to go to college. This helps me persevered because she has been the only girl  that has gone to college the rest had drop out of school.

My whole family has a lot of struggles and especially on dropping out of school. Neither my mom or dad or aunties or uncles had gone to college. The reason why all of the had drop out of school is because their mothers didn’t have the money to pay the school. Instead of going to school ma mom mother would tell her to go sell candy because back in the days the parents didn’t have enough money to pay for school so the parents would make the kids work. My mom was the kind of person that didn’t care the way she would  look she didn’t care what other’s got to say.My mom would tell me that she wish that all the things we have now she would of like to have them when she was young. She had told me that I should take all the opportunities have in school so I can be able to make it to college like my cousin did. My cousins also have struggles an that’s on dropping out of school to. My older cousin had dropped out of school when he was about to graduate he stared working in construction after he stared working he wanted to go back to school but he couldn’t go back because it was to late. There’s 4 of my cousin that had dropped out of school. They had dropped out of school because they would say they were not  capable to go to school. They tough they wasn’t born to go to school. I tell them that the most important thing in life is to go to school so you can be able to go to college and have a successful Life and a good  career. But they never listen to me at all they don’t take it seriously.

One opportunity that I have available in my community is have an education and be able to go to school and learn something everyday. Like some kid don’t even have the money to pay for their school or nothing like that. Another great opportunity that I had was to go to the college for all trip so i can be able to see all the college and have a head start on what college I want to go. I think all the people that don’t have the money to pay for school should at least try and search for a school were they are not going to pay at all. Going to the college for all trip is going to make me more stronger on choosing a good college for me.

One word that can discribe my family is outgoing and persevering because since all my cousins had been dropping out of school.My aunties and uncles had been pushing them to go to college and to never drop out of school but noun of them listen. Only half of my cousins are in school but they are also trying to drop out of school to. My mom and my dad had not gone to college they only made it to high school because their mom didn’t have the money to pay for it. So my mom and dad stared to working my mom wanted to help her mom get money. She was the kind of person that liked to go to school but she was always helpful to her mother. Now that she has 2 children me and my brother. She would tell us how much she had suffer when she was little and how much she cares about our education and that she don’t want us to end up like them working in some fast food place or were they don’t pay the right amount or she don’t want me or my brother to end up in the street so she would tell me how much college is important to go to because of all the opportunities we will have in college.

Going to college means a lot to me. It means to me a lot because am be the second one to go to college and to be proud to tell others that I have graduate from college. I want to demonstrate my family that I can make it to college even do I have many struggles in my life and the main struggles is that I have to be deal with my cousins dropping out of school and not having a education. For this reasons I want to make it to college and have a better future and show my mom and dad that I am capable to accomplish all my goals and that I will be able to go to college with the help of no one. I really ant to go to college because I also want to go to college because I want all show my cousins that they are cable to accomplish their goals like I will. I also want to show my cousin sarai that I am cable to go to college Like she did.

Freedom is like a bird being liberated from its cage

freedom is like the exit of doing  what ever you want  ,

Freedom is like having the oppurtinty of not being a slave and the

way out of breaking out of them chains in your hands\feet ,

The key to your freedom

Freedom can get rid of all the oppression your feeling inside

Freedom can stop racism and inequality and hypocrisy

Freedom can be the key to your success and have the oppurtinty to be liberated

from all the oppression in slavery

Freedom can become the way out of the black whole you been stuck on all this whole

time and the freedom to your success.
